The first instance of an Ivandyr's Hoop being used that I saw was from one of Daltheb's videos. The main use of them was to keep people alive if the fight went on too long, and members and apps alike were told to try and have one in conjuction with high resist gear.
Once the campaign of "NERF HOOPS" and "NO HOOPS NO LOOT" started, blatant overuse became the norm because it was a guaranteed win. I can't remember which video but one of Daltheb's videos has a bunch of people saying, "yeah these need to be nerfed" as they click-killed a mob.
They did get nerfed because they were somewhat ridiculous, but anyone that was relying on them was doing themselves a disservice.
